The Power of a Cooperative Bionetwork

Cohen Veterans Bioscience was originally launched as Orion Bionetworks in July 2012 with a focus on Multiple Sclerosis. Thanks to generous funding from the Steve A. Cohen Foundation, we changed our name in October 2015 to reflect our commitment to studying Veterans Brain Disorders.

Translation: Bench to Bedside

The core objectives of Cohen Veterans Bioscience include the translation of basic research to next-generation diagnostics, treatments and cures. Collaboration between the public and private sectors is an essential ingredient in this process. Better patient care relies on the establishment of a Path to Commercialization.

Investment in Brain Disease development programs has been waning in the face of high risk and low probability of success.

Cohen Veterans Bioscience is addressing these challenges by utilizing a Public-Private Partnership Model approach where Costs, Risks and Rewards are shared including the identification and securing of intellectual property (IP), when needed.
